The twenty rounds were fought, when
Referee Barnes declared the fighta draw.
Warren seemed to be clearly over
matched, Weir's superior height and
longer arms telling wish fearful effect.
Weir has not & scratch on him, while
Warren's face Is a perfect mass of
bruises and discolorations. His left eye
is in mourning, his mouth badly swol-
len, and his nose badly out of shape.
Confidence in Warren has received a de-
cided setback. He seemed to be afraid
of the SPIDER from the moment the
fight commenced till time was called,
and acted solely upon the defensive. It
is more than probable that q fight to a
finish will be the outcome of the meet
ing, though the audience seemed to be
unanimously of the opinion that ssthe
SPIDER is much the better man in every
way.
